Double Blind Studies 2012-2023

 

Following the scientific 'double blind study', I put drawings into the  testing space of photography. A double negative, a bilateral symmetry, a  photogram like effect-- reveal something the drawing was blind to, before it was transformed into a print. The site of drawing recalls forensics of pinned specimens on a wall. If the procedure is modernist, the results are speculative. Just-the-facts yields to primitive science. The air is dense like chalk dust on a blackboard. An approach to life.

Gelatin silver LE prints produced with Griffin Editions, Brooklyn. The full suite includes 70 images, in editions of 3 plus AP.

Prints from this series were shown in 2014 at SF Camerawork, San Francisco, for Up All Night, juried by Hesse McGraw; and with Cerritos College, Norwalk, greater Los Angeles, for a solo show, Christina McPhee: Second Sight, curated by James MacDevitt, 2016 (catalog).
